LIONS EUROPEAN MUSIC COMPETITION

FOR TRUMPET

PRIZE Thomas KUTI

Europa Forum 2017 Montreux/Switzerland

26th September – 1st October

For twenty-six years the Europa Forum has already included a Music Competition. A Music competition dovetails perfectly with our Forum. It puts the principle of Lionism into practice, promoting fraternity and exchange among young people from different nationalities and cultures as well as spreading music and encouraging its practice. The competition is also a means of promoting a sense of service in the districts concerned and helps extend public awareness of Lions. The competition is named after the founder of the competition from France, Thomas Kuti.
